Summarizer Test Taking Strategies

• Focus on the test. Try to block out whatever is
  going on around you. Take your time and think
  about what you are asked to do. Listen carefully
  to all the directions.
• Budget your time. Be sure that you allocate an
  appropriate amount of time to work on each
  question on the test. 40 questions 60 minutes
• Take a quick break if you begin to feel tired. To
  do this, relax in your chair, and take a few deep
  breaths. Then, sit up straight, pick up your
  pencil, and begin to concentrate on the test
  again. Remember that each test section is only 60
  minutes.
• Use positive self-talk. If you find yourself
  saying negative things to yourself such as I
  cant pass this test, it is important to
  recognize that you are doing this. Stop and think
  positive thoughts such as I prepared for this
  test, and I am going to do my best. Letting the
  negative thoughts take over can affect how you
  take the test and can influence your test score.

Summarizer Test Taking Strategies

• Read the entire question and the possible answer
  choices. It is important to read the entire
  question so you know what it is asking. Read each
  possible answer choice. Do not mark the first one
  that looks good.
• Use what you know. Use what you have learned in
  class, from this study guide, and during your
  study sessions to help you answer the questions.
• Think logically. If you have tried your best to
  answer a question but you are not sure, use the
  process of elimination. Look at each possible
  answer choice. If it does not seem like a logical
  response, eliminate it. Do this until youve
  narrowed your choices. If this does not work,
  take your best educated guess. It is better to
  mark something than to leave it blank.
• Check your answers. When you have finished the
  test, go back and check your work.
